“It’s like twitter. Except we charge people to use it.”
I would like to catch up as I am working on a really exciting project at the moment and need a logo designed. Basically something representing peer to peer networking. I have to have something to show prospective clients this week so would you be able to pull something together in the next few days? I will also need a couple of pie charts done for a 1 page website. If deal goes ahead there will be some good money in it for you.

Gartner – From Wow to Shallow Thinking on Mobile Futures | stuart henshall:

The trends are usually wrong and there still needs to be a lot more out of the box thinking to really succeed. Who do you go to for your mobile strategy? What approach are you taking? Start with the users and not the technology!

To me, these seem like the key components of a good infographic / data visualisation / piece of information design. 1. Information needs to be interesting (meaningful & relevant) and have integrity (accuracy, consistency). 2. Design needs to have form (beauty & structure) and function (it has to work and be easy to use). (via Interesting, Easy, Beautiful, True? | Information Is Beautiful)

“British artist Stephen Wiltshire ~~is currently attemptin~~g ~~to draw~~ [has completed his drawing of] the Manhattan skyline from memory. Wiltshire began filling in an 18 foot canvas at the Pratt institute, Brooklyn on Monday October 26th.

Wiltshire, diagnosed with autism at the age of three, displays an unusually powerful photographic memory that he has applied to rendering city scapes. He can look at the subject of his drawing once and reproduce it accurately with photographic detail, down to the exact number of columns or windows on a building. He memorizes their shapes, locations and the architecture.”

Vandals Target Mob-Tied Restaurant

What were these kids thinking? Anybody who knows anything about Brooklyn knows you don’t mess with Marco Polo Ristorante! The popular red sauce Italian eatery isn’t just famous for its chicken parm (which is superb), but also because its owner, Joseph Chirico, was indicted last year for extortion alongside dozens of other suspected Gambino crime family associates in a massive racketeering case.
